Twilight of the Dead: The Remake

What I am looking for is:

Custom Unit: Infectious Zombie
Custom Ability: Necrotism
Custom Buff/Effect: Necrosis
Custom Triggers: To run these...

My thoughts are:
Infectious Zombie comes with Necrotism.
The I need 3 triggers:
Trigger 1) Infectious Attack
Whenever a Unit is attacked by an Infectious Zombie, roll the dice. On a 6-sided die, a roll of 1-4 and there is no problem. On a roll of 5 or 6, the attacked unit is infected with necrosis.
Trigger 2) Infection
Any unit infected with necrosis should lose 1 hit point per ¿turn?
Trigger 3) Infectious Death
Any Unit with necrosis that dies will be replaced with an Infectious Zombie unit that belongs to player 12 (my generic Infectious Zombie controller)

Questions:
Trigger #1... Isn't there a way to make the ABILITY do this? Instead of creating a trigger to manage the ability?
Trigger #2... I want necrosis to be PERMANENT. I will PROBABLY create a spell or potion that will remove it, but that comes later...
Trigger #3... Ok, I use Player #12 as my ZOMBIE player... Couldn't I make them Neutral Hostile Units?
THAT would mean creating an AI for them wouldn't it?
Hmmmm....

Any help here would be appreciated...
Thanks...
 
When you say "Any unit infected with necrosis should lose 1 hit point per ¿turn?", do you mean by second?

I think I know a way to pull this out, but I dont think that it can be done using only abilities.

Ill make a small example map far ya, if I find the time.
 
Heh, this is something I did in about ten minutes, so dont expect too much

cool... I will check it out tonight AFTER work...
Thanks sATARa!
 
Sure :) but dont thank me yet hehe check it out first
Im not sure its the thing you wanted...
 
Busy As Hell!

sATARa,

First off...
THANKS A MILLION!

Secondly, that WAS excellent...

Now I just need to perfect it.
For instance, I want to create an AI for the Zombies...
So that they don't attack UNDEAD players, but run instead.
And maybe get them to congregate in packs whenever they discover 'food'. I REALLY don't want to waste a player slot for them. AND I don't think Neutral Hostile AND/OR Neutral Passive will work because of the AI behind it. The Zombies should NEVER run from anything (excepting an Undead Player who attacks them). It doesn't matter if they are being destroyed, they just don't run.

I am itching to start putting together some re-skinned stuff for a good Twilight of the Dead campaign... or "28 Days Later, a thousand Years Ago..." <chuckle>

I have been busy as hell sATARa, my wife chipped a root-canalled tooth first thing on Friday, and I haven't had more than a couple minutes to work on the computer, this was a weekend from hell, then work jumped straight into fifth gear. I am ACTUALLY busy as hell this week. Altho I always make time for a post or two as I get questions, or just to reply... chuckle...

Hope everyone is doing well... I got a Yahoo! Member add from a Yamaha guy from this group? But I forgot to hit the "ADD BUDDY" button, so all I did was approve him to add me without adding him to MY LIST! SO If this was you? Message me so I can add you... :-D

Later...
 
Im glad it helped...
... ehh, my knowledge of AI is unfortunately very limited, so I guess I cant help you here. One thing I know is that its always an good idea to have one computer conrolled player, that does this sort of thing. You wouldnt, of course use him to controll only the zombies... he can do many other things your map needs.

I see you`re getting really hooked on this... no turning back now hehe... but I have to warn you, you have no idea how time cunsuming this really is lol

Yamahaguy? No that wasnt me... thats Ryoko, one of the mods here...

If you need anything my mail is [email protected], but perhaps its better that you PM me here
Havent set up that yahoo massaging system yet, but I will soon

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

  • Varine Varine:
    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

  • Varine Varine:
    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best
     +1
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
